Air India has written to its travel agents assuring them the airline won’t be shut down, a day after its chairman posted a tweet of similar assurance.
The reactions follow a visit by aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri to the national carrier’s employee unions wherein he made a case for urgent privatisation as the only way forward as fears of a shutdown loom large.
“…these rumours and baseless and without an iota of truth,” Meenakshi Mallik, director commercial at the state-run carrier wrote in the letter to agents.
